Peanut Butter Cups

This post is also available in german/deutsch.Sweet, “healthy” and packed with yummy peanut butter! Delicious peanut butter cups with chocolate. I love this combination and peanut butter is my (Kathrin) favorite nut butter ever. Unfortunately, there are often a variety of ingredients in purchased peanut butter cups that you don´t need or want to eat. For this recipe you only need 5 ingredients: natural 100% peanut butter, dark (dairy free) chocolate, coconut oil, maple syrup or honey and a pinch of salt.
